Titania, that fight barely happened. Are you ill? Recover quickly and spare this arena the unedifying spectacle of Ming the Terrible on the throne. -- Dilys tyl Kogan SPY REPORT You elder fighters surely remember me. The younger ones may call me Olaf Modeen. I return to DAL SHANG once again! It seems so recently people were saying REFUGEES was washed up, finished. But 4-0-0 moved them up 0. I guess they're washed no more... What's with CHURRO THE SPIKE? He actually beat DAL SHANG's POLWHIS THE CANDLE, and walked away with 7 more points from the fight. I can barely restrain my enthusiam for SUPERIOR FORCES 3J's outstanding member, Duelmaster TITANIA. I suppose you want to hear some rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters? Tough! Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges... Warriors of DAL SHANG unite. You have only your games to lose! SAGAT OF PAIDAN killed KASSELA TYL DRU, and expects revenge from SAND DANCERS. The dead are better off dead--they have no worries. Is it my imagination, or are fighters getting younger every day? To die so young, so gloriously! Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. DAL SHANG is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places. Time for my medication, so I'll leave now.

Then again, it might be right on time. -- Ed. Zarla -- Just do you don't have to complain again that all you fight are standbys, I thought I'd try my only warrior here against your 5-0 p-rip. Probably not a wise move on my part, but what the heck. BTW, have you ever tried challenging? Backlash doesn't avoid and he's been here nine arena fights without a single challenge from anybody. -- Sultan You know, I could warm to Sweet Anella more if he was a she. They tell me this cross- dressing stuff is an art, but I don't see it. -- Ming the Terrible These Dwarves get so excited. I guess it's a good thing the Commission doesn't let them use their weapons of choice; they'd be a serious menace with axes. But what does a Dwarf know about flails, eh? -- Durvan Let Ming complain about Sweet Anella all he wants; Ming's full of it. Anella has the GREATEST clothes! -- Jesse Tavan I wonder if Sagat of Paidan ever wishes he'd stayed home? -- Kassela tyl Rhu Dwarves are a terribly grudging lot, have you noticed? They grudge it when they have to surrender (no grace for them), and they don't teach well. -- Murgon Causey -- Ah, one-man team? Must get lonely, huh? Any time you want a drinking companion, look me up. I know some really rotten dives where a couple of gladiators can have fun. -- Churro the Spike Gods, these Illisni are worse than ordinary Delarquans! They're not only bloodthirsty, cruel, and uncivilized, they're PERVERSE. -- Porgaral Nobody told me I'd have to beat up lame beggars. My mother would be so ashamed! -- Dakoril 24 August 2004 Invitation to Newbie Managers by Hammer As a Captain of the Vendetta Cartel, Hammer has recently dissolved the Vendetta Cartel Crimson Ascension Family.
